I have an affinity for hearts… and not just for Valentine’s Day. They have their place in my home decor year-round.

And you know that I have a soft spot for all things recycled, repurposed, upcycled, and such. So I’ll be searching and searching over these coming weeks to find the best DIY Valentine decor out there – and bring it all together to inspire you to re.Create!

First up is reclaimed & scrap wood. My local builder store lets me take a big box of scrap wood from their cutting/sawing department for 20kr (that’s about $3). Have you made friends with your local woodcutter yet?

Hope you enjoyed that little spot of reclaimed and scrap wood inspiration for the coming day of lovers… or through all the year! Keep a watch for more recycled and upcycled heart inspiration in the coming days and weeks. And until then, take a peek at this little Pinterest board dedicated to my appreciation of the recycled heart.
